  1. 9.0 |   Clash

    So, world, enjoy. There’s so much good to Let’s Wrestle, such a great deal of dumb-smile glee conveyed with this album, that it’s a perfect pick-me-up for any occasion. It’s Buzzcocks-goes-Daniel Johnston, with a little Guided By Voices on the side, erudite and desperate, and everything mentioned above and yet a lot, lot mor

  2. 8.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    If their first full-length has taken the art and craft of the three-minute guitar-pop song as demonstrated, then is the only way up? It'd be a saddening thought to think that Let's Wrestle have peaked already

  3. 8.0 |   Bowlegs

    Often a joy to listen to, there is a great pop sensibility which runs throughout the whole album. The melodies are in safe hands; all you have to do is enjoy

  4. 8.0 |   BBC

    The trio’s thrashy, joyful momentum rarely lets up

  5. 7.6 |   Pitchfork

    The members of Let's Wrestle are barely out of their teens, which helps explain their uncanny knack for articulating the pain of youth

  6. 7.0 |   AU Review

    There’s some real heartfelt sentiments in here, alongside all the wry asides and cooler-than-thou moments of apparent disinterest

  7. 7.0 |   The Quietus

    Pull back the band's shroud of retarded simplicity and what's left standing is a scrappy pop sensibility. One that's prone to clubbing early Buzzcocks and Daniel Johnston over the head with singer Wesley Patrick Gonzalez's deadpan vocals and daft songs about men with Princess Diana haircuts; before escaping down the street like a drunken Napoleon Dynamite

  8. 6.0 |   Eye Weekly

    They write indescribably hummable tunes

  9. 6.0 |   Blurt

    As clumsy as youth, as charming and graceless and ingratiating as half-grown boys can be, this is the kind of album you can only do once

    Print edition only

  11. 6.0 |   The Fly

    Gloriously off kilter and raggedly romantic Jonathan Richman-esque offerings

Latest Reviews

David Byrne  Who Is The Sky

The artist’s new album of bright, bustling pop is positioned as a celebration of reasons to be cheerful. Often its fountain of optimism feels like a firehose of forced positivity Pitchfork

Ed Sheeran  Play

On the enjoyably moreish Play, the ‘culturally Irish’ star sounds as if he’s back on form. Although we’ve only had time for a quick listen The Irish Times

Baxter Dury  Allbarone

This record plays like his shot for glory, and with tracks as hooky and well-constructed as "Mockingjay" or the title track, there's no reason he shouldn't hit the big time All Music
